Learn Something New: Lean Six Sigma

What are you doing this long with an extra o weekend? Learn something new!

I think I am going to make Learn Something New a series and every time I find something new (free or affordable) I’ll share.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a combination of 2 powerfully incredible methodologies to achieve better results through more efficient and effective processes. These methodologies are Lean and Six Sigma.

What is Lean? Lean is a methodology that aims to create value by eliminating waste.

What is Six Sigma? Six Sigma, another methodology, aims to reduce defects by effectively solving problems.

LSS adopts the Karate style of grading. White – Yellow – Green – Black – Master Black – these are all the belts available in LSS.

I am currently a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt (That’s like a Primary School Belt in Lean Six Sigma) and I function as a Green Belt, vigorously working on getting that Black Belt.

Green Belt – Secondary School + Project Exposure

Black Belt – B.Sc

Master Black Belt – PhD

Why should you study LSS?

Are you interested in innovation? Process improvement? Or, generally doing more with less? Lean Six Sigma is perfect for you. I mean it is a major plus to your PMP, if you have one. A Project Manager that can minimise defects and eliminate waste within scope, cost and time? Yasssssss to you.

Vivian, it costs a ton of money to learn LSS, what kind of Alaroro are you sef?

I know, I know. Everything seems to be so costlaaayyy these days. That’s why I am here though. To find the free, the affordable and share them with you.

Are you new to process improvement? Are you an oldie who wants a quick refresher course? Are you a newbie who wants to get an overview of Lean Six Sigma with basic White Belt Training? I found a site that offers this for free: http://goleansixsigma.com/

It’s easy to understand and I want you to give it a try. After taking the free training, you can decide if you want to further your LSS learning!
